Points Only Gift/eGift Cards availability

WebWiseWoman — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:53:32 GMT

To try to consolidate these as Andrew did posting this as starting point.

Please post Points Only Gift Cards; do not post anything other than that (per Andrew's original guidelines).

Post whether Members Only, please.

Thanks, all!

@WebWiseWoman

It would be so much better-to do it this way, rather then have them scattered all over and so unorganized.

many Kudos to @andrewtoo for all his efforts

I believe that we only had a problem when members complained about off-topic posts. On the current online community (more often than not) entire topics are deleted rather than individual posts. In my previous attempt at a topic like this, I remember the complains about going off-topic to help a new member! New members don't have the history that we have, so, they post in a topic near the top of the list for help.

When creating my last "available" topic, I mentioned that discussion about gift cards was allowed in the topic. However, the complainers must have reported helping the new member with off-topic questions and responses to help them (I believe it was about helping a newer member get a newsletter?) and BOOM, entire topic gone.

I believe my error may have been that I did not make the topic more inclusive, rather than more restrictive. For this reason, I believe that this topic, in particular its restrictive constrains, will be the death of it. However, I wish you guys luck with it!🍀

All in IMHO

I absolutely agree with you, @andrewtoo, and don’t believe it can sustain itself for that reason, unfortunately. Agree with you on this. You can see the forest for the trees. 👍🙂

@andrewtoo

so to be clear, you can only post remarks here that deal with points only gift cards, otherwise someone will complain and the entire topic could be deleted 🤔
